Rejuvenating Meditation to Make You Sattvic (Yoga)

General Advice about doing a Yoga Kriya

Carefully follow all the instructions as given, do not improvise. You may shorten the practice time of a Kriya, but you may not increase it beyond the stated time.

Be as relaxed as you can. Check yourself for areas of unnecessary tension: abdominal muscles, facial muscles, throat, and tongue (do not stiffen or press it against the palate or theeth unless instructed to do so). Keep the lips relaxed when appropriate. Allow energy to flow freely through all your major joints (ankles, knees, hips, vertebrae, shoulders, elbows, and wrists).

And don’t exceed your comfortable limits. Do not strain or hurt yourself in an effort to do this kriya. Start at a reasonable level and pace and allow yourself to grow into the full time and intensity.

Relaxation

It is important to relax after you have done a kriya. It allows the body to absorb the energy that has been created. After concluding a kriya, relax in Easy Pose or lying on your back in Corpse Pose for 3-11 minutes. After the relaxation, allow sufficient time for your body and mind to return to regular consciousness before you resume your normal activities.
